    Momentum Operator question - Proof found in Intro to Griffiths QM

    Hi all I am trying to go through the Griffiths Intro to QM book and I'm afraid I'm already stumped! He determines the momentum operator by beginning with the following equation: <x>=\int_{-\infty}^\infty {x|\psi(x)|^2} He takes the time derivative and manipulates the integral: (I'm...

    Maximum compression in a spring

    If I'm interpreting the problem correctly, I believe you just have to find the compression of the spring when all of the kinetic energy of the blue cart is put into the compression of the spring. As you said.. after the collision: The velocity of the red cart is 0 m/s The velocity of the...

    Why Is My Calculation of Current in This Circuit Incorrect?

    Use the equivalent resistance formulas and then Ohm's Law For two resistors in series R_{eq} = R_{1} + R_{2} For two resistors in parallel \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} or two resistors in parallel simplified R_{eq} = \frac{R_{1}R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}} Hope this helps!
